I sense criticism of the 90's X-Men cartoon and must swoop into add my opinion. I loved it then and i love it now. Yes there's some cheese but overall I think it holds up well, the stories more so than the animation of course. Granted there's a handful of episodes that aren't that great but they're still, as a whole work, pretty awesome.

I wish we had a ML Cyclops in that style. And Storm of course.

As to the rest of the comments Dr. Kain I agree with you. Marvel took a slight drop off in quality, to me, around 2001-2002. But it wasn't until after Morrison left the X-Men and the New Avengers started (though the first arc was good) that the quality as a whole nosedived. There were some few lights in the dark (Loved Mike Carey's X-Men run, as well as the X-Force leading up to Necrosha, and thought Civil War and Secret Invasion were pretty good events, along with a few story arcs here and there) but overall 2004 marked the beginning of the end to me.

And it seems as far as my taste go there was yet another drop in quality three to four years ago, when really the only good book out has been Hickman's New Avengers, and I did like Infinity.

SO basically , to me, overall most things up to 2001 were awesome and enjoyable.
2001-2004 was pretty good (though I will say that Uncanny X-Men was at the lowest point it's ever been at during that time)
2004-2011/2012 was not that great but still had moments of enjoyment
20012 onwards has been fairly terrible for the most part.

All just my opinion of course. I should add I don't read anything beyond avengers or X-Men so if there's differences in other corners of the MU that is understandable.
